Student loans can be a valuable resource in financing your education. However, borrow conservatively -- accept only what you really need. Explore all options such as grants, scholarships, and employment before borrowing.

Pay as you go. Loan payments may be made at any time without penalty and will result in reduced interest accrual over time.

We strongly encourage all student loan borrowers to utilize www.saltmoney.org, a free service to all EWU students. With SALT, you can track and manage your federal student loans, learn of repayment options, budgeting techniques, and much more.
